Prologue.

The kingdom of Hogwarts was a large and prosperous kingdom ruled over by five families. The main ruling family were the Malfoy's who lived within the magnificent Hogwarts castle and were the direct descendents of the great wizard Merlin. King Lucius and Queen Narcissa were fair and kind and much loved by their people. However they had one problem through the ten years of their marriage they had yet to conceive a child and longed for one with all their hearts.

The first of the four territories was granted by Merlin to the loyal and caring Helga Hufflepuff. It had been passed down from generation to generation and was now ruled by her descendents the Longbottoms, Frank and Alice. They were kind and righteous and good friends of the king and queen who were over enjoyed to learn that they were expecting their first child within only a few months despites their own lack of one.

The second was given to the clever and intelligent Rowena Ravenclaw and passed down to the Weasley family. Molly and Arthur already had several children and were currently working on their sixth. They were also good friends of the king and queen and it was well known that they had more than once offered to give their trouble making twin sons to them. They had politely refused every time and it was a well known joke in court that the Weasley's were trying to get rid of the two boys that no one would take.

The third was given to the sly and cunning Salazar Slytherin and was passed down to the Riddle family. Tom Riddle Sr. and his wife were good and fair rulers but many worried about their teenage son Tom Riddle Jr. Already there were reports coming in of his allegedly cruelty and everyone was waiting to see what kind of governor he would be when he took over after his father. It was him in particular that Lucius was keeping an eye on and he hoped nothing came of their worries.

The last one was given to the bold and courageous Godric Gryffindor and was passed down to the Potter family. James Potter had only recently taken over as lord for his late father Harold and married a beautiful young woman, Lilly Evan's. The two had been married a year and were still childless but neither was to concerned about it. They were beloved by their people and it was without doubt that James would be as good a lord as his father once was.

For many years Lucius and Narcissa had tried desperately to have a child with no success. They had come to believe that they would never have a child and as a last resort they want to the royal advisors Severus Snape and Ablus Dumbledore. They begged the two men to help them find a way to have the child they so desperately wanted and the two men agreed to do what they could to help them.

They searched for over a month for a solution to their problem and finally found a little known potion used to increase fertility and potency in males and females. Delighted the king and queen had them brew the potion and they both took it one night before making love. Within a week it had been confirmed that the queen was finally pregnant but the potion had one painful side effect, they would never be able to have another child now.

This was fine for the king and queen were delighted just to have one after trying for so long to conceive and nine months later a beautiful little boy was born. He had white blonde hair like his father and stunning silver gray eyes. Dumbledore proclaimed that he would one day be a great king and that he was destined to do something truly important though what that was he himself couldn't be sure of.

The entire kingdom rejoiced at the birth of the young prince and many people came to see him baring gifts for the babe. Among them were the Potters who gushed over the infant and Lilly hoped that she would have one as beautiful as him one day. The little prince was loved and cherished by all and already many were discussing who he would one day marry. As the only heir he would be the kingdoms greatest catch when he grew into manhood and many were already boasting about how it would be their daughters who would wed him.

For three years the kingdom was at peace as they watched the little prince grow. He was joined by the Longbottom's young son Neville, who to would be there only heir, and the Weasley's sixth son Ron as well as eventually their only daughter Ginny. To everyone's relief they stopped having children after that and no other twins were born to them. Each territory now had an heir except for the Potters but they were now expecting their first child who would be born in a little over a month.

However there had been complications during Lilly's pregnancy and she was now very weak and bed ridden. Many believed she would not survive the birth and it was debatable if the child would as well. The Malfoy's had sent their own healer to them, Poppy Pomfrey, and she was doing all she could to help the poor woman. The royal family and all of the governing families had come to welcome the new child and support James as well as his two friends Sirius and Remus.

The day of the child's birth was cold and wet and three weeks early. James paced in the outer sitting room while the king, queen, their son, and the lords and ladies and their families sat around him watching him. Alice and Molly had joined Poppy and some of the servant girls in the delivery room where Lilly's screams filled his ears. No one could make him sit down or relax at all, not even Sirius, and eventually they gave up trying.

Two hours later Molly came out of the room a look of great sadness and sympathy on her face. James took one look at her face and rushed past her terrified of what had happened to his wife and child. Molly followed him after glancing at the others who understood that something had gone wrong with the birth and waited to find out what tragedy had occurred that day.

Upon entering the room James knew immediately what was wrong. Lilly, his beautiful young wife, lay on the bed pale as a ghost and covered in blood as were the sheets beneath her. Her eyes were closed and as he touched her hand he felt her skin growing cold beneath his fingers. Tears filled his eyes and streamed down his face as he realized that she was dead, she had not been strong enough to survive the birth as it had been suspected she wouldn't.

"I'm sorry my lord we just couldn't save her but we did manage to save him," Poppy told him. He looked at her in confusion until she placed a small bundle in his arms and some of his grief dissipated as he held the small child his wife had died for. "You have a healthy little boy my lord and he is a beautiful little one. You should be proud."

"Thank you Poppy," James said softly as he looked down at the small child. He had his messy black hair he could see at once and when he opened his eyes fresh tears came to his own. "Oh God Lilly's eyes," He gasped as he looked down at his late wife. "He is truly your son my Lilly and I will take good care of him for you I promise love."

He gazed at his wife for a few more minutes lifting her hand to his lips to kiss it and then nodded to Poppy. She would have to be cleaned up and prepared for burial right away and he couldn't watch that so he left the room with his son held tightly in his arms. The others rose to their feet as soon as he entered and knew at once what had happened as Molly and Alice followed him into the other room. The rest would be left for the servants to do and they were needed more to comfort James now then to help with Lilly.

"Lilly has given birth to a beautiful baby boy," He told them wanting nothing more than to be alone with his son and his grief. Sirius instantly moved to wrap in arm around his childhood friend who was grateful for the comfort as he continued. "Unfortunately she didn't survive the birth."

"Oh James I am so sorry," Narcissa told him tears sparkling in her own eyes. She had become very close to the young woman since she had married James and she was greatly saddened by her death. "Lilly was a wonderful woman and she will be greatly missed but at least you have your son. That is one good thing that has come from this terrible tragedy."

"Yeah James Queen Narcissa is right you have your little one there to help ease the pain and me and Remus are here too," Sirius told him. Though only a minor lord compared to James he was well liked by the king and queen and owned a great deal of land and wealth. "So tell us what's to be the little ones name or are we to call him little one from now on?"

"Lilly wanted to name him after my father as she didn't get along well with her own," James told them looking down at his son who was staring curiously up at him with his big green eyes. A small smile crossed his face as he held the child up for the others to see. "So his name is Harry James Potter, the future governor of Gryffindor and my heir."

"He is beautiful James and he has Lilly's eyes," Lady Riddle told him as the child was passed around for the others to see. He didn't cry once as he was passed around only looked at all of the unknown faces with little concern. "You must be so proud to have such a darling little one as your heir."

"Yes I am very much so," James agreed allowing Sirius to lead him over to a chair where he say and watched as the others gushed over his son. He looked at his friend tears shinning in his eyes despite the smile that still lit his face. "Sirius I want you and Remy to be his godparents if you want to of course."

"Want to? Of course we want to we'd be delighted right Remy," Sirius replied glancing at his partner who nodded right away honored by his desire to make them his sons godparents. "That little one is going to be so spoiled and we will teach him all our tricks. He'll be worse than the Weasley's twins."

"Please no my lords the Weasley twins are more than enough trouble for this kingdom we are not in need of another." Lucius told them with a look of mock horror. Sirius laughed but agreed with the king the twins were little monsters with their tricks sometimes. "I hope though that our sons will be friends one day I would like to keep our families close as it makes the kingdom stronger."

James and the others agreed and watched as the newborn child was gushed over by the others. Each of the Weasley boy's wanted to hold him except for Ron who seemed too afraid to and Ginny who was only a year old herself and being held by her oldest brother Bill. The Longbottom's held him after that and Neville had to be coaxed to even look at the small child with how shy he was. It was then the queens turn and Lucius saw her look of longing as she held the infant and wished he could have given her another baby but he couldn't.

"Mommy me hold him now please," they were all surprised as little Draco pulled eagerly on his mother's dress trying to get a better look at the baby he hadn't shown any interest in until then. "Please mommy want to hold baby."

"All right Dragon sit down on the couch and I will help you hold him all right," Narcissa agreed after getting a nod from James who looked slightly apprehensive. Draco did as he was told and held out his arms for the child as she sat down next to him. "Here you are Draco keep your arm under his head his neck is very delicate right now."

Draco nodded, he was fairly intelligent for a three year old, and held the baby carefully with his mothers help. At first he didn't see what the big deal was and thought the baby looked kind of funny with its messy black hair and red face until he saw Harry's eyes. There so pretty, he thought smiling at the infant who gurgled and reached his fingers out toward him. Your going to be mine and we will play together and you will smile only for me.

"Mommy me keep him ok," Draco told her and was confused when the adults and the older Weasley's laughed at his declaration. "He be mine and we take him back to the palace so we can play together all the time."

"We can't do that Dragon Harry doesn't belong to us," His mother told him gently as she took the child from him. Draco scrunched his face up not used to being told no and not wanting to let the baby go. "He has to stay here with his daddy. You wouldn't like it if someone took you away from us would you?" Draco thought about that for a minute and then shook his head knowing he wouldn't like that at all. "So we can't take him away from his daddy but when he gets older I am sure you two can play together and be friends."

"Yes of course little prince I will bring Harry to play with you and you are always welcome here," James assured him. Draco remained frowning as he thought it over and then nodded agreeing with them. "Thank you my prince I would have been very sad if you had taken my son away from me."

"I don't want you be alone," the little boy told him. He liked Uncle James and Aunt Lilly as he knew them but he really wanted the little baby to more than he had ever wanted anything else. "But when he grow up he be mine,"

Everyone in the room laughed at that and nodded not one of them understanding what the little boy really meant as he didn't really understand himself. He only knew he wanted that precious little infant for his own in a way he wouldn't understand for years to come. None of them realized either that his innocent words would set in motion something to come that none of them would suspect and would change their kingdom in the future.

Having satisfied Draco Narcissa gave the small child to the Riddles to see. Tom and his wife gushed over the baby and lamented that they had only been able to have one themselves. Tom Jr. was sitting away from the others frowning and looking like he would rather be anywhere else. At seventeen he was a reserved and brooding young man that easily put a feeling of unease in others. None of them expected him to want to hold the child so they were surprised when he stood up and took the baby from his father staring down at it with a scowl on his face.

The young teen gazed at the tiny infant who squirmed in his arms and a feeling of desire filled him. Unlike the innocent little prince he knew what he wanted from this child and he to was determined to get it. He decided then and there that small green eyed babe would one day be his. His to own and use as he desired and a frightening smile came over his face as his plans began to grow in his head.

James saw the look on his face and the one in his eyes and was instantly on his feet as his son began to cry. Tom Jr. gave the baby up willingly to the worried father though not without giving him a sneer and returned to his chair terrible thoughts feeling his head as he continued to stare at the babe in the man's arms. He was annoyed when James sat down and Draco rushed over to him upset about the baby crying. He was even more enraged when the infant looked at the little blonde child and instantly stopped crying to gurgle and reach his hand out toward him.

He would have to do something about this there was no way he was letting that bratty little prince have what was rightfully his. Harry belonged to him and no one else would have him. As soon as he was old enough he would take the boy and hide him away in his manor where no one else would be able to touch or see him. The Harry would be all his and the prince would have to find some other twit to be with. Yes Draco may be a prince but he didn't have the cunning or patience that Tom had and he always got what he wanted in the end.

A/N: so what do you think was it interesting? Good, bad should I continue it? Let me know. Poor Harry he's just a baby and he is already in a fight between two men what is he going to do and what will happen to him now? Just in case anyone is confused in this story Ron is older than Draco by three months and Neville is older than him by four and they are all three years older than Harry. Ginny is a year older than him to and Tom is way older so he is a total pedophile in this story. I mean really who lusts after a baby? That's just wrong!. Oh yeah what is Tom's mother's name I forgot and my books have been put away so I can't look it up so someone tell me please! Anyway read and review if you want me to continue there's lots more to come.
